Ezra Klein has lately published two pieces of material (a column and a podcast) that not only irk me, but are usefully illustrative of a particular kind of politics that we must avoid if we are to successfully arrest the country’s slide into authoritarianism. www.currentaffairs.org/news/as-the-...

This is a huge victory, but Xochitl is not home yet, and there remains a number of other DACA recipients who continue to be wrongfully detained.

In the second part of my series on the role of loneliness in the rise of fascism, I look at how MAGA is a cult that offers belonging to Americans raised in abusive environments and how it is powered by fear, insecurity, and overwhelming self-loathing. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-crisis-o...

And let me be really real about what older white women in the conservative movement are experiencing because not only are they seeking birth control and abortion, an astonishing number of them are in abusive relationships that end when he decides to find a younger woman. The deal on offer is trash

Again I do not understand what young white conservative women are hearing. Because baby, unchecked childbirth will kill a lot of them too. The Black maternal mortality rate is terrible, but roll the camera back pre Sexual Revolution and you find a lot of dead white mothers.

They are literally being told that for the sake of white supremacy they should give up bodily and financial autonomy to depend on men who *checks notes* want to get rid of alimony, child support and no fault divorce. They also want to legalize domestic violence and sexual abuse. Is racism worth it?
